Madame Chrysantheme — Complete eBook

Japanese habit of expressing myself
with excessive politeness
Contemptuous pity, both for my suspicions and
the cause of them

ETEXT editor’sbookmarksfortheentireChrysantheme:

Ah! the natural perversity of inanimate
things
Contemptuous pity, both for my suspicions and
the cause of them
Dull hours spent in idle and diffuse conversation
Efforts to arrange matters we succeed often only
in disarranging
Found nothing that answered to my indefinable
expectations
Habit turns into a makeshift of attachment
I know not what lost home that I have failed
to find
Irritating laugh which is peculiar to Japan
Japanese habit of expressing myself with excessive
politeness
Ordinary, trivial, every-day objects
Prayers swallowed like pills by invalids at a
distance
Seeking for a change which can no longer be found
Trees, dwarfed by a Japanese process
When the inattentive spirits are not listening
Which I should find amusing in any one else,—­any
one I loved
